Living and working out of Type-IV/Ts/Gf/72 in Hi-Tec Colony feels pretty normal for this part of Bacheli. Being on the ground floor means we see everyone passing by on their way to the market or the main office. The colony is a bit greener than the older parts of town, but that red dust still finds its way through the window cracks every single afternoon. We have a small table set up near the entrance where we handle most of the daily sorting. It is not a formal setup, more like a lived-in space where work happens. Sometimes the water supply is a bit finicky, so that is always a topic of conversation with the neighbors. Dantewada has its own pace, and we just follow along. We do not have big signs or neon lights out front. Most people find us just by knowing the house number or asking around at the post office nearby. The rains here are heavy, and they turn the roads into a bit of a mess, but it keeps the heat down for a few hours. We usually have a kettle going for tea because it helps pass the time when the internet is slow. It is just a practical way to run things without all the extra noise you get in the city. We focus on the forms and the logistics of what needs to move out each week. It is a simple routine that gets the job done.
